Pork producers putting fat on membership

Things are looking up for Queensland Pork Producers (QPP) after the appointment of a firm to review the industry body.

Membership numbers have been declining since the QPP became a voluntary organisation in June last year.

Along with the review, the QPP plans to expand its membership base to include feed millers, product suppliers and abattoir processors by the end of the year.

QPP president Paul Taylor says he is confident the organisation will stay afloat.

"We advertised for expressions of interest for companies to conduct a strategic and operational review of our organisation and at our board meeting today we have appointed a firm to carry out this, and that will be done by the end of April," he said.
